Letters chosen during one round of the Channel 4 show spelt the word “orgasmed” and the eight-letter contribution was displayed by presenter Rachel Riley.
Contestants had to find the longest word from the selection of nine letters chosen – E, A, S, R, P, G, O, M and D.
The best efforts by the players were the six-letter “grapes” and seven-letter “grasped” in the edition of the afternoon show.
But lexicographer Susie Dent, 46, in dictionary corner, came up with “orgasmed”. Host Nick Hewer, 69, said: “Oh, well done.”
Rachel, 27, who competed on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 before she was knocked out in week six, then arranged the letters on the board.
The word “orgasmed” has appeared on the show before. It was used in the final three years ago when Jeff Stelling was the presenter.
They are known to produce up to 500 litres of methane every day. But this bovine seemed to go one further by appearing to light up an entire field in the French countryside.
However, the flames which seem to be bursting out of the animal’s behind are an optical illusion...the blaze is at a farm some distance behind it.
The extraordinary image was captured by amateur photographer Bertrand Kulik as he passed through a field in Issy l’Eveque, Burgundy.

Redditor and fellow Canadian Brandon Heuser recently took the trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. After returning to his hometown of Vancouver, he decided to rewatch Disney’s The Lion King. Throughout the film he caught himself saying, “hey I have a photo like that!”.
Feeling inspired, he decided to take stills from the movie and compare them to photos he had taken on his trip. The results were shared last month on Reddit. The accompanying 24-picture album on Imgur has been viewed over 360,000 times since. While not every shot is ‘identical’ (e.g., Rafiki is a mandrill not a baboon) the similarities are quite astounding.
Back home Brandon is the owner of Black Tie Rings, a small business that specializes in tungsten carbide rings.
The Maasai Mara National Reserve is a large game reserve in Narok County, Kenya, contiguous with the Serengeti National Park in Mara Region, Tanzania. It is globally famous for its exceptional population of lions, leopards and cheetahs, and the annual migration of zebra, Thomson’s gazelle, and wildebeest to and from the Serengeti every year from July to October, known as the Great Migration.
The Maasai Mara covers some 1,510 km2 (583 sq mi) in south-western Kenya. It is the northern-most section of the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, which covers some 25,000 km2 (9,700 sq mi) in Tanzania and Kenya.
